second-hand market

The second-hand market refers to buying and selling goods that have been previously owned, instead of new items directly from manufacturers. This includes platforms like thrift stores, online marketplaces, and resale apps where individuals sell used items such as clothing, electronics, cars, and furniture. It allows consumers to access products at lower prices, promotes recycling, and extends the lifespan of goods. The second-hand market plays a significant role in sustainable consumption by reducing waste and resource demand, providing a broader choice for buyers, and offering opportunities for sellers to recirculate items they no longer need.
